All i can say about this game is that it's amazing! the controls are very easy to get used to, the graphics aren't perfect but i feel that if they were up to the standards of games like halo reach etc it would loose some of it's character and appeal, the game isn't too easy either like most games these days, so it's very rewarding to play, i would definitely recommend this game to anyone!

  Solid western shooter

| | See all PlanetExpress's reviews (21)

Fun game, plays like a classic shooter featuring a cool slow motion 'kill en all' mode.
The story isn't massively brilliant, as the cutscenes pretty much set you up for gun fight after gunfight, but the action is quick and intense and the backdrop is detailed.
Not a difficult game on average difficulty, its a reasonable distraction that has a tendency to bore after long play.

  Once Upon a Time in the West...

Call of Juarez is a gritty, engaging and frenetic game with that authentic twang of frontier madness that makes it an accomplished Western.
You'll find yourself grimacing as you slowly reload, taking cover behind a rock and then squint down your sights, letting off a recoiling shot. This game is in the style of a old fashioned FPS, which works fine, because it's an old fashioned country.
The majority of the game is an entirely linear storyline, with an occasional interlude into a free roaming wilderness. These breaks are a refreshing change of pace, although the environment feels painfully underdeveloped. But overall the single player is a satisfying experience.
It's also well worth mentioning the multi-player, it's popularity may have waned since its release, but it's a solid effort. Highlights include outlaws versus law-men, bank robberies and bounties, all set against authentic Western backdrops. It all demonstrates that both the Multi-player and Single Player experience of Bound in Blood is strongly tailored to what Wild West fans want, and it truly delivers.

  ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

| | See all KoopaTroopa's reviews (26)

This is an excellent game. it is actually one of the best games i have played in a LONG time. an absolute steal for 9.99. i only bought this game about a week ago and it has already kept me entertained for hours on end. The story mode is extremely easy to follow and it keeps you gripped at every chapter. in my personal opinion i actually found the story line on this game a lot better than some of the new COD games. absolute bargain for the price i paid and is easily one of my new favourites. would recommend this game to anyone who is interested in westerns.

  A BIG improvement on the first game.

Put simply, the first call of juarez sucked....however this prequel is very, very good. It looks superb and the plot is interesting and imaginative. The gameplay is good fun and as there are not that many western games out there it is a refreshing change. At some points it can be challening, but not in a bad way were you get bored and annoyed, the game makes you try again. There is a decent amount of replay value and so i would say definatley buy this game. However, with the release of 'red dead redemption' at the end of this month, i would personally save the cash, as im sure this game will be lost forever with the release of red.

  The best western shooter out there...

But with one flaw! There's no co-op! This game would have been even more of an epic with the inclusion of co-op story play. I'll start my review off by saying that the story in this game is one of the best. It's captivating to say the least and makes you want to keep playing and playing. There is 15 chapters in the game where you can play as either Ray or Thomas. The game took me 7 hours 36 minutes to complete on medium so it's not that long. The other characters play a vital role in this game such as William (Ray and Thomas' youngest brother), Marissa (The girl that Ray and Thomas are after) and Barnsby (The man Ray and Thomas are looking to kill) to name but a few. The setting really feels like the old west with the ghost towns and the deserts etc. There is online multiplayer and there are people still playing it but it takes long to find matches. I would highly recommend this game if you liked Gun or the first Call of Juarez.

  good

| | See all blanchman's reviews (22)

overal this is a good shooting game which has interesting ideas and storyline. good graphics means the scenary shots are effective, but alot of the time you cant see the enemies until they've shot at you. which gets frustrating on hard difficulty. online play is creative aswell but lacks the amount of players big name shooters get.definetly worth at least a rent.

  Poor

This game is bad, the graphics look excellent but the game play stinks, even on easy this game is very hard to get through the stages half the time you can't even see the enemy's shooting at you. You don't have much time to get through to the next stage, so you have to keep repeating the same bit, to me I got bored of it in the end, I would just rent this game and see how you get on with it.

  Good Game

| | See all Rush319's reviews (101)

This game has got a lot of good ideas, although not all of them are particularly well executed. I enjoyed the game and it's got a nice lengthy campaign (longer if you play as both brothers). Set before the original, you play as the McCall brothers as they search for the treasure of Juarez. The shooting is average and so is the story, but it's fun and had great visuals. I mostly enjoyed my time with the game and for just over a tenner it's bargain fun. Has it's flaws but non are game breaking. Good game.
